Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

Notes about this recipe

    Made as written en route to the Minilla recipe which turned out well. It’s garlic and butter! This recipe mentions cooking until the moisture is gone and it’s “bubbling in poppy craters”; the bubbling is really the thing to look for.
